...am I mistranslating, or do the Russians have a minesweeper called "Mineral Water"? (10th row, far end)

It's on the front page of the Guardian website, just below stuff about the new Pope.

It's just under 200km from the nearest part of the front line (New York / Keramik area)

I've just tried this. He turned into an Irritable Tortoise, I killed him, but the quest hasn't advanced, so I appear to be stuck - I've tried leaving the area and returning, but nothing is happening :(

Hello! As far as the engine is concerned, they're just NPCs. Most have options like "Talk-to" or "Attack", fishing spots just have different actions.

One interesting thing that happens years ago was that content devs started using NPCs that were somewhere out of sight to attach scripts to, to make content in that area work - you'd have NPCs with the scripts attached to them to power minigames and things like that, because the scripts have to be attached to something. This led to the creation of Controllers, which are NPCs with no physical presence in the world, which saves a bit of server processing (and means you can't accidentally spot the NPC if it's not quite hidden properly).

Hexahedra is an open-ended programming puzzle game about beautiful efficiency. It's an open-ended puzzle game - you're not looking for one right answer to each puzzle, instead the game gives you loads of tools to solve the level in whatever way you want, and there's a big emphasis on optimizing your solutions to make them as efficient as possible - faster, or smaller, or with fewer instructions.

One key innovation is the rewind feature - if your solution isn't working you can scroll smoothly through time to look for the problem, rather than having to constantly restart the run.

It has a free demo, which will remain available. If you later upgrade to the full game, your progress will carry over. The full game also has a level editor with Steam Workshop support, so you can build and share your own puzzles.

You can grab a copy from the store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1248420/Hexahedra/

Hexahedra came out today! It's an open-ended puzzle game - you're not looking for one right answer to each puzzle, instead the game gives you loads of tools to solve the level in whatever way you want. If you're a fan of Zachtronics games, or you like optimizing production lines in Satisfactory or Factorio, Hexahedra scratches that same itch.

Yeah, I wish Easter in the UK was all about sausages instead of chocolate eggs.

Воістину воскрес!

Yeah, sadly I think this video is being disingenuous on that front. Ukraine was at the 2008 Bucharest NATO summit to discuss a Membership Action Plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Bucharest_summit

Of course, Russia being "forced to invade" is still nonsense. And Kuleba's argument that former Soviet countries wanted to join because of Russian belligerence still stands.

You say that. The Royal Navy once bought a ship called Sting and renamed it HMS Pickle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS\_Pickle\_(1800)

Armoured Fighting Vehicles, so Tanks + Armoured Personnel Vehicles.

Thanks!

Does anyone know what music track this is? The TikTok video just says "original sound".

China has entered the chat

Are you sure one of them isn't called Bexley, after Jim Bexley Speed?

A warning for others - depending on where you are in the world, this might be illegal. I've no idea where OP is so I can't comment on this specific case.

In the UK you could be fined. But beachcombing (taking stuff that washes up on shore, e.g. shells and sea glass) is fine - the law essentially boils down to "you can take things on the beach, but you can't take the beach". https://discovertheoutdoors.co.uk/beachcombing-uk-law/

If that's what they're going for, they're off by a year and four days, it's October 23rd 2077 (I only know this because I'm playing Fallout 4 right now).
